Infusion number 1 – done! Also sharing some info from the Ketamine Advocacy Network describing what relief looks like after treatments. Fingers crossed 🤞🏻
- Being able to genuinely feel positive emotions, without faking it
- Being able to socialize with friends and family, and truly enjoy it
- Stresses and obstacles roll off your back instead of reducing you to the fetal position
- Finding it easy to sleep right, shower every day, and take care of yourself
- Having enough physical energy to get through the day without constant exhaustion
- Finally finishing projects that have dragged on for months or years, like home repairs, housekeeping, organizing finances, etc.
- Interacting comfortably in big groups, or with strangers, without social anxiety
- Criticism and unkind words become things you can simply shake off, instead of causing deep wounds that won’t heal
- No more energy spent trying to block out certain memories or traumas; they’re just not terrifying anymore
- No longer intimidated by authority figures, bosses, etc.
- Suddenly “getting” what your therapist has been saying for years
